Parity and Spin CFT with boundaries and defects

I Runkel, L Szegedy, GMT Watts - SciPost Physics, 2023 - scipost.org
This paper is a follow-up to [J. High Energy Phys. 06, 025 (2020)] in which two-dimensional
conformal field theories in the presence of spin structures are studied. In the present paper …

Resolutions of moduli spaces and homological stability

O Randal-Williams - Journal of the European Mathematical Society, 2015 - ems.press
We describe partial semi-simplicial resolutions of moduli spaces of surfaces with tangential
structure. This allows us to prove a homological stability theorem for these moduli spaces …

Bosonization and Anomaly Indicators of (2+ 1)-D Fermionic Topological Orders

A Debray, W Ye, M Yu - arXiv preprint arXiv:2312.13341, 2023 - arxiv.org
We provide a mathematical proposal for the anomaly indicators of symmetries of (2+ 1)-d
fermionic topological orders, and work out the consequences of our proposal in several …

Spin structures and exact dualities in low dimensions

D Radicevic - arXiv preprint arXiv:1809.07757, 2018 - arxiv.org
This paper derives a large web of exact lattice dualities in one and two spatial dimensions.
Some of the dualities are well-known, while others, such as two-dimensional boson …

Framed mapping class groups and the monodromy of strata of abelian differentials

A Calderon, N Salter - Journal of the European Mathematical Society, 2022 - ems.press
This paper investigates the relationship between strata of abelian differentials and various
mapping class groups afforded by means of the topological monodromy representation …

Crossed simplicial groups and structured surfaces

T Dyckerhoff, M Kapranov - Stacks and categories in geometry …, 2015 - books.google.com
We propose a generalization of the concept of a ribbon graph suitable to provide
combinatorial models for marked surfaces equipped with a G-structure. Our main insight is …

The arf-brown tqft of pin-surfaces

A Debray, S Gunningham - Topology and Quantum Theory in …, 2018 - books.google.com
The Arf-Brown invariant AB (Σ) is an 8th root of unity associated to a surface Σ equipped with
a Pin− structure. In this note we investigate a certain fully extended, invertible, topological …

Higher spin mapping class groups and strata of abelian differentials over Teichmüller space

A Calderon, N Salter - Advances in Mathematics, 2021 - Elsevier
For g≥ 5, we give a complete classification of the connected components of strata of abelian
differentials over Teichmüller space, establishing an analogue of Kontsevich and Zorich's …

State sum construction of two-dimensional topological quantum field theories on spin surfaces

S Novak, I Runkel - Journal of Knot Theory and Its Ramifications, 2015 - World Scientific
We provide a combinatorial model for spin surfaces. Given a triangulation of an oriented
surface, a spin structure is encoded by assigning to each triangle a preferred edge, and to …

Hierarchical hyperbolicity of admissible curve graphs and the boundary of marked strata

A Calderon, J Russell - arXiv preprint arXiv:2409.06798, 2024 - arxiv.org
We show that for any surface of genus at least 3 equipped with any choice of framing, the
graph of non-separating curves with winding number 0 with respect to the framing is …
